Are you saying that despite his heart palpitations and retirement, he would voluntarily risk his life to help the Pistons tank?

I'm saying that despite the palpitations and the fact that he's retired, he would likely be more consistant than Max and way better than the Pistons' highest paid frontcourt tweeter player. When Kwame Brown looks good to you, you KNOW you have issues.

Until Jason Maxiel is the 4th best big man on the Pistons: 1. Monroe will have no help. 2. Every night will be "Free Chile Night" at the Palace for Piston opponents. 3. The Pistons will lose a lot of games. 4. The team won't be as fun to watch. 5. The chances of Monroe leaving after his rookie deal will be greatly increased.

I saw the original article to this, which focuses its attention equally between Roy and Oden. It feels like a sell.

Having said that, I still expect to see plenty of suitors. With the advent of PRP and other types of 'experimental' medicines becoming mainstream, maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Oden was an absolute force when he did play though.

"I don't care about what all of these injuries mean for any legacy I might have," he said. "I just want to play basketball. I could've signed with a team after Portland cut me and just sat on the bench and collected paychecks, but that's not my style. That just seems really unethical. Besides, money doesn't matter to me. I've got enough money. All I want is to get 100 percent healthy and get back on the court."
